| Summary | "A Son of Perdition: An Occult Romance" by Fergus Hume is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the themes of occultism, desire, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly focusing on the characters Alice Enistor and Julian Hardwick. The story explores Alice's emotional struggles and the influence of darker forces in her life. At the start of the novel, we meet Julian, a struggling artist, and Alice, a delicate and introspective young woman living in a gloomy mansion with her emotionally distant father. The two share a complex interaction filled with Julian's unrequited love for Alice and her reluctance to reciprocate that affection, despite the undeniable chemistry between them. Their dialogue touches upon notions of artistic genius, love, and even the supernatural, hinting at deeper themes of fate and reincarnation. Additionally, there are ominous hints at Alice's father and his connections with darker magical practices, setting the stage for conflict that intertwines their destinies in unforeseen ways.
